Inspera Proctoring vs IRIS Invigilation

Inspera Proctoring provides live and recorded remote exam supervision for educational institutions, professional organisations, and awarding bodies. It integrates with Inspera Assessment or an LMS and offers Resilience, Recorded Proctoring, and Live Proctoring options with differing features. Camera, microphone, and screen monitoring can identify activity such as leaving the frame, conversing, or using another device. AI flags incidents for human review; the institution makes the final academic-conduct decision. Depending on the option, exams can include identity and room scans, with dual-camera use optional for recorded and live sessions. Resilience is described as fully offline resilient, while recorded and live sessions list 30 seconds of offline resilience. Students can access live support in recorded and live environments. Inspera states that the service is GDPR compliant, uses role-based recording access, and supports thousands of simultaneous users. Pricing is on request.

IRIS Invigilation records audio, video, and computer-screen activity during remote assessments, then uses machine learning to flag possible academic dishonesty in a reporting dashboard. Identity and behavior checks include face recognition with ID verification, eye-movement tracking, and detection of multiple faces, audio, windows, and applications. Reviewers can see AI commentary, screenshots of AI tools and apps, and an AI-usage probability score with comments. The system can take random activity snapshots, record full or summary audio and video, and filter assessments by misconduct probability. It connects with learning management systems such as Canvas, Moodle, and Blackboard, and lists external student-information-system integration. IRIS supports lower-, medium-, and higher-education exams, tests, and quizzes. Students need a Windows or Mac computer with camera, microphone, speakers, and reliable internet. Mobile devices and tablets are unsupported. Data is hosted in AWS Sydney, recordings are kept one year, and pricing depends on student numbers and assessment hours.
